World-renowned British-Iranian 80s model Yasmin Le Bon will attend and speak at Fashion Forward’s (FFWD) Season Four.
Le Bon will also sit in the front row at FFWD designers’ catwalk shows throughout the event, which takes place from October 4-6.
Dubbed as the “Face of the Eighties”, Le Bon credits her mixed Middle Eastern and British heritage for her timeless looks which have graced catwalks and front covers the world over in a career spanning three decades.
During her legendary career Le Bon has worked with nearly every top photographer from Peter Lindbergh to Horst P to Steven Meisel and Mario Testino; she has graced both covers of the first ever American and British Elle magazines, as well as the covers of Italian, British, French, and German Vogue.
Over the past few decades, the model has been a mainstay presence on the international runway scene, and was the face of campaigns of labels such as Yves Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein, Missoni, Lagerfeld and Ralph Lauren.
Away from the catwalk, the 49-year-old is a firm supporter of new fashion talent on both sides of the lens, championing young designers at fashion weeks and supporting emerging photographers. She has also created her own clothing line for British high street retailer Wallis ‘YLB for Wallis’.
